This is a proof I am struggling on ...
Let H be a subgroup of the permutation of n and let A equal the intersection of H and the alternating group of permutation n. Prove that if A is not equal to H, than A is a normal subgroup of H having index two in H.
My professor gave me the hint to begin by letting g be in H but not in A and then showing that gA and A are two cosets of A in H.
